Monty Python’s Spamalot at Winspear Opera House

Does King Arthur, Patsy, Sir Lancelot the Homicidally Brave, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot-Who-Slew-the-Chicken-of-Bristol-and-Who-Had-Personally-Wet-Himself-at-the-Battle-of-Baden-Hill sound familiar? Our guess is a definite positive.

Ever since ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ motion picture was released in 1975, the British Monty Python comedy group has become incredibly popular, gaining a mammoth worldwide fan base. So, have you seen it?

Yes? Then seeing the musical that has been hailed as one of the best parody musicals currently on tour is something that you really, really need to add to your calendar. It’s the same ‘Spamalot’ you love and that tickles the ribs, only bigger, grander, and more extravagant. This version knows its business, and its business is show business!

No? Then you must have been living under a rock and have been missing out on what never should be missed out on! It’s never too late though, because ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’ is here to stay, and you won’t even have to travel far this summer to experience it for yourself! Eric Idle and John Du Prez’ 2005 showpiece has knocked Broadway off its axis, having critics and audiences crawling on the floor with laughter, so you’ll be able to get in on the shenanigans pretty soon.

Doubts? Let the proof be in the proverbial pudding. To date, writer Eric Idle and composer John Du Prez’s ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’ has racked up three Tony Awards, three Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, and a Grammy Award. So it’s pretty much undeniable: everybody, and we mean everybody - from reviewers to enthusiasts to naysayers to theatre regulars to killer rabbits to looking-for-fun’ers - gets on board the Lady of the Lake and Sir Galahad the Dashingly Handsome’s gondola from the get-go!

‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’ is a slightly boisterous, mildly outrageous, and wildly hilarious parody of the Arthurian legend, very much like the motion picture, but of course, delivered in person. Add in a chorus line of knights, well-known songs that the entire audience belts along to such as ‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’, ‘The Song That Goes Like This’, and ‘Find Your Grail’, an extraordinarily talented cast that rips into the comedy, jokes and parodies that spare absolutely nobody - not Andrew Lloyd Webber, not ‘Dreamgirls’, not Céline Dion, not Judy Garland, not even the famous Elphaba battlecry from ‘Wicked’, dazzling costumes, cleverly crafted humour, and everything else you could possibly imagine, and you have an absolutely fantastic evening at the theatre that you’ll giggle about long after the ravenous applause have died down!
